A huge reason why there's this rift on the Right that didn't exist a year ago is because Neocons are not team players.
They operate as political parasites, using our candidates and elected officials for their own ends without ever reciprocating anything in return.
This isn't how stable political coalitions work. The entire point is that you join forces with people you may not agree with 100% of the time, but you still fight for their priorities so they will fight for yours.
But Neocons like to pretend they're above all of that. They're a single-issue constituency. They will bounce between the Populist Right and Establishment Left so long as they get what they want.
Case in point, many Neocons bitterly opposed Trump all three times he ran for office, and yet the moment the US began bombing Iran and delivering on the crown jewel that many of them had been working towards for over 25 years, did they turn around and repay the favor by supporting anything that Trump's base voted for?
Of course not. The SAVE Act is still languishing in the Senate despite 100% of the GOP and 80% of the public wanting it to pass. Meanwhile, Neocons in Congress are signing on to a mass amnesty for criminal aliens bill and calling it "Dignity", despite stricter immigration arguably being THE signautre issue that Trump campaigned on and his base voted for three times in a row.
The lesson here is simple. You cannot ally yourself with Neocons. Ever. They do not understand or care about the concept of political loyalty. They're bad actors who only care about permanent regime change wars abroad and will backstab you at home the moment you give them what they want.
Working with Neocons is like "uniting with the Left".

This is also why I've been opposed to this war with Iran since the start.
It was so obvious from the beginning that Neocons would use this conflict to get everything they wanted, and when the backlash inevitably came from a global energy crisis or fears of yet another long-term conflict in the Middle East, they'd offload all the blame on Trump and Vance and go back to voting for Democrats in the midterms and in 2028. And they'd do all of this without ever telling their own friends in Congress to pass anything Trump's base actually cares about.
It was a rotten deal then, it's a rotten deal now, and it will be a rotten deal every single day until this thing is over.
Admitting all of this doesn't mean I've "betrayed Trump". I am still personally quite happy he won over Kamala Harris. Nothing that's happening in Iran erases the various other great things he's accomplished that few people nowadays want to talk about. I very much still voted to shut down the southern border, have negative net migration for the first time in 50 years, close down USAID, and fire 300,000+ Federal employees. Each of these wins were things that few of us thought was possible just a decade ago. He's done all of them in just a single year.
But it's clear that this war distracts from those accomplishments, fractures the base, and demoralizes our own side. Politically, it's a strategic blunder. It doesn't take away from the other things that are going on, but it certainly distracts from them.
The United States should be isolationist by nature and interventionist in rare, exceptional cases. That's the only legitimate political posture for a country that is supposed to be built on the idea of limited government. A government that pisses away thousands of lives and trillions of dollars on military campaigns in Islamic sh!t-holes halfway around the world while facilitating an invasion of Third World peasants here at home has no moral claim on any loyalty from its citizens anymore.
Most of us can pay attention to many things at once.
Shut your pie hole.
Why do you F’ing care? You don’t live here
Topical ping on Iran.
???
What do Catholics have to do with anything that was posted? They weren't mentioned at all.
DO not play stupid ... who the .ell did you ping? Seriously?
The truth is that Trump himself has never been a team player either. And as a leader, he is absolutely vicious towards anyone who doesn't follow his lead 100% of the time.
That comes with a cost.
???
This post is all about highlighting the inherent treachery of neocons...and they tend to be globalist to a fault.
I thought you hated globalists.
So what in the world is your beef? Do you actually have a criticism of what was written? If so, maybe you should say it, instead of saying "shut up."
Trump is not crazy, or compromised. He’s pragmatic. One thing to keep in mind. Iran has been the world’s greatest sponsor of terror since 1979. Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of American lives have been lost because of Iran’s death cult (Shia Islam).
Iran is led by a death cult committed to starting nuclear WWIII with its so the Mahdi will appear from the well in Qom. We were able to confound their nuclear ☢️ program up to now. Obama tried paying them off! Perhaps Trump counted the cost and found Iran was too close to their goal?
Once again…Trump is not crazy or compromised. He’s pragmatic.
Live where?
This war is NOT about “neocons”. It is about Iran having nukes and the ability to use them.
PERIOD.
The usual idiots in the peanut gallery
Look who these flakes follow ... some white smoked DEI hire calling himself ‘holy father’ ... and they want to be taken seriously...
I hate globalists. This has nothing to do with that.
People that I've noticed, over many threads, that have been ambivalent or opposed to the our military venture in Iran (for a variety of reasons). Is pinging them a problem?
Do you think there's some kind of conspiracy involved?
Seriously, why do you care?
And why did Catholics come to your mind when they weren't mentioned at all?
